he Chamdor Automotive Hub was officially opened on the 27th of
October 2022. The event was hosted by Gauteng MEC for Econom-
ic Development Tasneem Motara and attended by key stakeholders
from the Gauteng Provincial Government, Mogale Local Municipality and
the Reggio Emilia Municipality.
The Chamdor Hub is a result of the fruitful relationship between the
Gauteng provincial government, Mogale City local municipality, the Munici-
pality of Reggio Emilia, E35 Foundation for international projects and Emilia
Romagna Region. Reggio Emilia is located at the heart of the Motor Valley
in Emilia Romagna, one of the city leaders for the automotive sector. The
event also forms part of the activities planned for the Reggio Emilia mission
to the Gauteng Province. The Mayor of Reggio Emilia Luca Vecchi was in
attendance.
The Automotive Industry Development Centre (AIDC) a subsidiary of
the Gauteng Growth and Development Agency which is an agency for the
Gauteng Department of Economic Development, developed the concept for
an automotive aftermarket hub for Chamdor to address barriers to entry
into the automotive aftermarket sector for SMMEs. The Chamdor Auto-
motive Hub will develop SMMEs to commercial sustainability and to being
recognised as suppliers of competitive automotive aftermarket services in
terms of cost, quality, and delivery.
The event included a tour of the facility by all guests, a formal programme
and a ribbon cutting ceremony.
“We are justifiably proud and pleased to co-host with our local and in-
ternational partners, the official opening of this Chamdor Automotive Hub.
We urge the community and citizens of the Greater Mogale Municipality to
support and protect this asset that is geared towards contributing to shared
prosperity and inclusive growth. We also encourage the local and interna-
tional private sector to come on board to work with the local, provincial
and national government to establish franchises in this Hub and similar oth-
er Hubs, especially those targeted at empowering TISH communities,” said
MEC Tasmeem Motara.
Bridgestone has been chosen as the sole and exclusive tyre partner for
the new Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato, providing All-Terrain and Winter fit-
ments for the world’s first all-terrain super sports car equipped with a V10
engine and all-wheel drive powertrain.
The tyre’s bespoke polymers, patterns, and tyre technologies have been
developed to enhance the all-terrain capabilities of the Huracán Sterrato
and maximise the thrill and fun of driving on and off the asphalt behind the
wheel of this supercar.
The specially developed Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain AT002 tyres
are an exclusive fit for the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato, and just like the
all-terrain supercar, Bridgestone’s new HRD supercar all-terrain tyre deliv-
ers several unique features. The Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain AT002 is the
world’s first-ever supercar all-terrain tyre to feature Run-Flat Technology
(RFT), supporting drivers to continue driving safely even after a puncture –
for 80km at 80km/h with 0-bar pressure. This offers drivers unique peace of
mind when out on roads of all types enjoying this all-terrain supercar.
The bespoke Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain AT002 is designed to provide
versatile performance wherever the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato goes,
irrespective of terrain. This way, the innovative tyre delivers enjoyment
through fun and easy driving in all conditions, matching the Lamborghini
Huracán Sterrato’s DNA.
